rates for service were increased by
, hat was the first general increase in telephone re in
renty-tive yeare.
1'o -day the general level of commodity prices is three hundre4
and fifty per cent over what it was twenty-five years ago.
Our operating expenses in 1919 had increased 99 per cent ova/
1915, while gross revenue was only 49 per cent greater.
Wages absorbed over 56 per cent of our revenue last year,
our wage bill this year will be at least 35 per cent higher the
in 19191
ZI is apparent that if we are to continue io pay good wages, and
so ensure good service, and at the same time pay such a return
to investors as will attract new capital to enable us to extend
